In short: tough but fantastic
In full: For the first running of this race, the organisation was superb, and the event went off more smoothly as can be expected, even down to acknowledging and apologising for the issues with the mile markers before the race. The Marshalls were all superstars, I've never seen so many cheery and supportive marshalls at a race!

In short: Beautifully scenic race over a tough undulating course
In full: Can't believe that people are complaining about a £2 fee for parking (which at the primary school we parked at went too the school itself...). Well, well worth doing.

In short: Fast course, well organised.
In full: Fairly fast course, with just a couple of small hills at the end to act as the sting in the tail.

In short: Probably the flattest 13.1 mile loop possible in sheffield!
In full: Positives:
As flat as it is possible to get in sheffield
Great support through town and esp. on Eccy Road.
Negatives:
Water in Cups rather than bottles
Scenery is rather bleak.

Overall though, this is a race that is well worth doing.
